Chapter 459: I am doing business in Daqin
“Many of these methods are illegal, which is a very big hidden danger for the country.
Once someone breaks the law, the government will investigate, and the investigation requires manpower. If the case is not investigated clearly, the people will lose their trust, and the credibility of the government will be reduced.
A government without credibility will cause the entire country to have no credibility. In the end, when the people do not believe in the country, then there will be no need to talk about anything, and businessmen will not do business in their own country.
They will go abroad, as long as the country's reputation is good. "Qin An said.
Li Si said: “The credibility of a person is very important, let alone a country.
The fact that Huaxia can always exist shows that China’s reputation is the best in the world and everyone wants to do business in Huaxia. "33
"My father-in-law is right," Qin An said, "Huaxia's current reputation is the best in the world, and many people want to invest in Huaxia."
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Qin An, if you were in the Qin Dynasty, what kind of business would you do? Let me tell you from your perspective.
From your outside perspective, how would you do business in Daqin? "
Qin An thought for a while and said: "That's a lot. First of all, I won't touch the salt and iron industries controlled by the imperial court.
I will give the method of making salt to the court, ask the court to give me an official position, and then use the official position to open a brewery.
I will not be stupid enough to think that I can control the brewery alone. If I don’t have a strong background, someone will come and rob me three days after the brewing in the brewery appears.
Don't believe it, that was the Qin Dynasty, not now. There was no patent law at that time, and my brewing technology would be obtained by someone in some form within three days.
So I need to find a backer. If it is the Qin Dynasty, I will find two people to be my backer, one is the First Emperor.
Others say that the First Emperor was cruel by nature, but I think that the First Emperor was diligent and loved the people, but he was forced to do so.
After the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, there must be people in the six countries who were dissatisfied, and they would be detrimental to the First Emperor and the Great Qin.
That's why there were eastward inspections, severe torture, etc. The purpose was to stop the people of the six countries from being impatient.
But the First Emperor didn't know that Zhao people, Qi people, and Chu people, for ordinary people, they didn't care about these at all. They only cared about whether they could survive and who treated them well.
Therefore, the First Emperor used the wrong method, which ultimately led to the death of Qin II. "
"Then what do you think we should do?" Ying Zheng asked.
“Recuperate, relieve labor, develop commerce, and when giving land to the people, we must also provide them with employment opportunities.
After I surrender to the First Emperor, I will hand over the plow and the method of making iron to the First Emperor.
Coupled with cheap refined salt, once these magic weapons are released, it is guaranteed that the people of the six countries will love Da Qin.
Then the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were invented, so that scholars all over the world could use them for the court, and then notices were posted to tell the cruelty of the royal families and nobles of the six countries, and then the idea of the unification of China was announced.
After everything developed in an orderly manner, my first real profitable business appeared, which was selling wine.
Everyone has tasted the wine I brewed. How does it taste? "
"It tastes better than any wine I've ever had before," Ying Zheng said.
Li Si said: "For such a delicious wine, even if it is sold ten times a jar, there will still be people buying it."
"Then I'll buy dozens of jars first," Feng Quji said.
Gan Luo frowned slightly and said, "Is this wine really that delicious?"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
"How delicious is this? It's simply a divine wine." Ying Zheng said.
Li Si and others all nodded.
At this time, Meng Yi and Zhang Han arrived.
"I've met the village chief." The two of them saluted Ying Zheng at the same time.
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "No need to be polite, sit down, Qin An has already made tea for you."
The two of them looked at the steaming tea on the table and saluted Qin An at the same time: "Thank you, sir."
"You're welcome, please take a seat."
"promise."
After Meng Yi and Zhang Han finished cooking, Qin An continued: "Although the wine I brew is delicious, it is not strong enough. If we use distillation, we can make the wine purer, more delicious, and stronger.
It's just that I didn't build a brewery in the village. I just brewed some wine for my own entertainment.
But if I serve as an official next to the First Emperor, then I will build a brewing workshop and not only use grain to make wine. I also make wine from various fruits.
After His Majesty the First Emperor conquers Baiyue, I will tell His Majesty that the land of Baiyue has a lot of rice, food, and various fruits.
Rice has become a staple food, and various fruits can be sold all over the country. They can also make wine, and the fruit wine is also very delicious.
There is also a wine which is also very delicious. "
Feng Quji heard Qin An mention the fruits of Baiyue and immediately asked: "Sir, you said that the fruits of Baiyue should be sold throughout the country. However, the roads in Baiyue are very rugged and full of miasma. .
By the time we leave the land of Baiyue, I'm afraid the fruits will have rotted. "
Qin An smiled and said: "First of all, don't go by land if there is a waterway. Secondly, after picking the fruits, send them to the dock immediately. Even if you don't have time, put them in the cold storage immediately."
"It's hard to see snow in Baiyue Land in winter. Since there is no snow, there is no ice. Without ice, how can there be a cold storage?" Gan Luo asked.
"Where's Xiao Gan." Qin An said with a smile, "Don't you know how to make ice with saltpeter?"
Xiao Gan? Is it me? Gan Luo was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something.
"There are so many ice cubes suddenly appearing in summer. Is it Mr.'s fault?"
"The method is my own, but it was made by my father-in-law. This is the simplest way to make ice." Qin An said, "Ice made directly from saltpeter is not edible and will be poisonous, but it can still be used to keep it fresh. .
So I will suggest that the fruit farmers build a cellar under the warehouse, put some ice cubes in the cellar, and store all the harvested fruits until I can buy them.
I will build several big ships, and there will also be an icehouse inside the big ship, and put the fruits in the icehouse.
Then I will take a boat north and sell all the fruits to local places along the way. I will build docks in various places and sell all the fruits without transporting them to Xianyang City.
If the fruit cannot be sold, I will use the fruit to make canned fruit, fruit drinks, dried fruits, etc.
Anyway, I have many ways to prevent fruit from being wasted. If it is really wasted, it only means that I have not done enough.
But after I make money, I believe many people will follow my example and go to Baiyue Land to buy fruits and then sell them across the country.
Among them, it is impossible to really sell fresh fruits all over the country, unless no matter the cost, but I don’t need to worry about this, there are other merchants who will help me sell them. "
Some people died, but not completely...
